You are correct, and I stand corrected as far as the existence of 20' high cube. I Googled it, and came up with manufacturers of 20' high cube. I searched again to see if railroads used them, and I could not find an affirmative answer to that. The closest to an actual answer was a CMA/CGM website, and they do not list high cube 20s as an available shipping option. I can't imagine that the railroads would use them as they stack a single 40 or 45 on top of 2 20s, which would need to be the same height. They do not stack 20s on top of 40s because there are only 4 locks on top of 40s, and 2 20s need 8 locks.

So for all intents and purposes, even if 20' high cubes exist, they are not used for intermodal shipping in the US.

I believe you are correct; they appear to be mostly for domestic use, although in lots of regions around the world.
